Mel, having met you I would say you are attractive, warm, friendly. kind, cuddely (that will get the wires humming) and gracious.

Now it is your turn to lie about me. No, I mean what I said.

ME? friendly, proud, love a laugh but do not abide fools easily.

Sunshine Coast 100ks north of Brisbane the capital of Queensland Australia. Beaudy mate.

Well done Mummy Budgie and Mummy Colleen.

You do know of course the correct name for your "parakeets" is Australian Budgerigar? budge-er-e-gar.

Of course you do you are Colleen.

The natural colour of budgies (affectionate name) is green, the variety of colours have came about by breeders.

 In the wild they are sometimes called Green Grass Parrots.

Budgies frequent large parts of Australia and I have seen flocks of thousands. I like the Solo name but Aussie is good too.

If the second egg has not hatched in 2 to 3 days it is not going too.

Again congratulations  to the four of you.

As for daddy doing the job so young we Aussies are a virile lot.

I was feeling a bit down so I rang a "Help line" and got a answering service in Pakistan.

When I explained I was suicidal they asked me if I could  fly a plane.

I was in a pub in outback Queensland when the discussion got around to different fighting styles.

One said Ju Jitsu from China was his choice, another one said Kung foo from Japan.

Me, I said I preferred a pick handle from to back of the ute.

Little girl was drawing a picture and when asked what she was drawing she replied "A picture of God"

When told no one knew what God looked like she said "Well they will soon"

I went for a hot air balloon ride in Ireland but lost my way and as I could see a farmer in his paddock I called out "Where am I"?

He called back "You can`t fool me, you are up there in that little basket"

Sorry I can`t answer your question as my dear old Mum (Died 1953) told me "Son self praise is no recommendation" She also added "A empty vessel makes the biggest noise"

Who am I to argue with my wonderful Mother who cared for and loved me.

All the best Darren.

51 a mere child in the clock of time.

I do NOT want to know about the surprise your wife has for you.

Come on what sort of a stupid question is that, college degree, really.

It is of no surprise to learn everyone on this site is holding a college degree, be it some Ivy League college orThe College of lifes` Experience, The College of Hard Knocks, The college of on the Job Training.

Surely you knew that, don`t you read the deep meaningful answers on here, c`mon?

Education starts the moment you leave your place of learning, no amount of "education" can replace years on experience.

Some people get a Masters in a subject and a failure in life.

Long may your lum reek.

Well done cobber, how old now ?

In years not mentality.

All the best from "Down Under"
